MARATHON INFORMATION:

We will be featuring a full marathon, half marathon, 10km and a marathon relay (Team of 5-10 Racers). The full marathon is a 211 lap race where every lap time is recorded by chip timing. There will be an aid station on the course and music throughout the entire 26.21 miles. Runners will change directions every 60 minutes. We can guarantee perfect weather (64F)! We will provide showers for all race participants in the C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse and day lockers will be available for 50 cents.

If you would like to participate in the Marathon Relay, each team must choose a captain to register the entire team rather than registering as an individual (ensure team captains have all team information prior to registering: names, emails, phone numbers, and date of birth). We will be taking registration for relays online as well as payments. Teams must consist of 5-10 runners. This year, it will be cost/runner rather than cost/team.

Individual registration can be done online for those individuals running the marathon, half marathon, and 10km run.

10km Race

Price: $40 (includes fees)

Half Marathon

All runners will need to get a chip on the day of their race; they will NOT be included in the packets. There will be a table set up in the lobby for runners to get their chips. For the relay, each team will get one chip. We encourage the captains to pick the chips up.

Do you have to have marathon experience to participate?

No, all abilities are welcome as this is a fun event where you can start and stop as often as you please.

Does each team member have to run the same distance or can we have different runners running different distances (provided we complete the full distance of course)?

The Marathon Relay is intended to allow runners of all abilities to participate. There are no rules related to the minimum or maximum number of laps each team member must run. Some teams may choose to have their more experienced runner run more laps than their less experienced runners. Similarly, relay runners may each run all of their laps consecutively, or choose to tag off.
